The Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society is excited to introduce the inaugural cohort of ten Notre Dame Ph.D. students to the Lucy Scholars program. These graduate student leaders will receive mentorship from Institute faculty and staff over the next two years to co-create a collaborative, interdisciplinary graduate student research community.
We received applications from a wide variety of departments and programs, and we are thankful to the interdisciplinary faculty selection committee for reading through all of the applications and for creating this cohort through a competitive selection process.

Lucy Graduate Scholars will play a key role in shaping the programming and opportunities offered by the Lucy Family Institute. Scholars are expected to attend monthly luncheons with other Scholars to give updates on research progress and challenges, give a research presentation at the Annual Lucy Symposium, present a research seminar at a Lucy Graduate Scholars workshop, advertise and attend Lucy seminars and events, and design community-building events for Lucy Graduate Scholars and other affiliated graduate students.
Additionally, Lucy Graduate Scholars receive a $3,000 stipend for each year that they participate in the program and they are eligible to apply for additional grants for research project supplies and conference travel.
